"At this moment, there seems to be one set of rules for Luis and another set for everyone else," he said.

"Diving and simulation is obviously a wider issue in football and one that we all agree has to be eradicated from our game, but there were other incidents this weekend that didn't seem to generate the same coverage."

Suarez is a serial diver, trying to deflect that by bringing in the semantics at OT is pathetic. LFC used to be 'admired' by football supporters now they are seen as whining hypocrites. Defending the indefensible is the LFC way now, pulling up the drawbridge and claiming a witch hunt just adds to the problem and shows a lack of class. Thuggery, what about the deliberate kick at Parker by Suarez?

I remember the FA saw Alex Song do and uncharacteristic stamp on Joey Barton, in that infamous Newcastle Arsenal game at the start of last season, & proceeded to ban him for 3 matches retrospectively. Now the blatant atrocities to football by Stoke, and Huth's stamping are just brushed aside. The FA shows lack of consistency in their dealings off the pitch, let alone the refereeing on it.

@Goluboy.My point is this, you in the past 3/5 posts. Bring up Manchester United. It's pathetic, you're more obsessed than the United fans. I seriously recommend you read your own posts, and see that a huge majority is about what United did wrong. You're a one man army trying to villanise every single United player. You must be a great follower of Rafa, bitter to the core as well.

@707Cogently expressed. Then you have the Master Disciple of the Dark Arts do the pinch hitting for deflecting Stoke's thuggery or bullying by scapegoating the victims to wit Suarez. Go figure what is blatant cheating and dishonourable acts.

@767 Right an ex-MU great or England TS17 ;)Revealing isn't it that the Master of Dark Arts "drummed'Jaap Staam out of OT for revealing Utd practiced diving in training."He is also revealed as a bully for drumming Alan Wiley by branding him 'unfit'. Given AW performance @ OT performance has been praised by everyone. All because Fletcher stonewalled KenWynneJones from equalizing. Go figure.

@773 At best you are being silly at worse you are being disingenuous.Never once did I defend Suarez - per # 292.Diving is not the issue (#s 698 & 701). To address blatant cheating & dishonesty is the MAIN issue.It can be circumscribed by my post 765 about MU's bullying behaviour (to wit Alan Wiley) & here too.

Are we all forgetting that the FA put referees on the pitch to ensure that the game of football is played in the way it was intended? Blaming a player is avoiding the big picture, blame the referee! Referees are paid to do a job and that is show cards for a reason during the game and based on the game. If however he can't decide then bring the camera in to decide for him. No one can then argue.

Goluboy you're pathetic. According to you, Liverpool are the saint worthy team, and United are the only team in the world that does wrong. Every post "united did this united did that" so childish.I'd hope any decent Liverpool fan, would be disgusted with you as they are Suarez's "theatrics". If you want most cheating side. It's Stoke, they have the most favourable decisions. That's a fact.

As gman said, Liverpool fans hate to see Luis dive, don't believe he has won a single penalty. Considering the beating he got from the Stoke thugs I am surprised he could even walk.@ wahey1969 - don't see you condemming Wellbeck's "penalty" against Wigan.Far worse fouls & cons over the weekend than Luis's 'dive' - Huth's stamp, 2 footed challenges from Stoke, RVP's backhander, Bale's dive.

No comments allowed on the lord triesman story. The BBC yet again picking and choosing who gets some "treatment". A once great institution now reduced to tabloidesque journalism and censorship. Shameful.

I hate to see him dive, I am a pool fan, but no one talks about anyone else! Not Bale.... Sure last year Young was diving and winning penalties, (cheating). But where was the condemnation? Authorities are under someone's thumb.... Not mentioning anyone coaching biggest err team....

I am staggered by the vast majority of Liverpool fans and their blind defence of Suarez. I am a Manchester United fan and hate it when our players dive (nani/young). I cannot see how you can defend how Suarez acts on the pitch.The reason there is this 'witch hunt' is because he constantly dives/moans and is always trying to con the ref.

Any form of rules violation and getting away with it or rewarded is BLATANT CHEATING. The most egregious form of DISHONESTY! To wit by MU players (Rooney against Campbell's Arsenal, Vidic against Agbonlahor AV or handball against Arsenal).Yes Fergie admits that MU players (to wit Ashley Young) 'dive' & LUCKY when Vidic cheats and get away unpunished.
